eSight 4: augmented reality glasses for the visually impaired

After the Augmented reality electronic lenses from Mojo Visionthe Canadian company eSight is developing eSight 4 glasses. These enable visually impaired people to improve their vision through augmented reality.

How eSight 4 works

Like a magnifying glass, the eSight 4 glasses can improve the vision of visually impaired people by up to 10/10. Its high-definition screen will project augmented reality images so that users can see the space around them more clearly and in greater detail. Its images will stimulate the remaining synaptic activity in the eyes to deliver visual information to users' brains.

The device allows you to wear the glasses for long periods of time while cooking, cleaning, watching TV, reading, working and many other everyday tasks. The battery lasts up to 3 hours and is easy to recharge. It is located on the back of the device and does not weigh down the system. The foam integrated into the front of the glasses gives users unlimited comfort, enabling them to wear the eSight 4 glasses for as long as possible during the day. The glasses also provide wireless, tactile controls to support users in all their activities.
